RBR50 with Firmware 2.5.1.8

So glad I came across this post. I was just about to decide to pull the trigger and go ahead with a manual update from version V2.3.5.30 to the latest 2.5.1.8 as neither in the web interface nor the orbi app has the feature 'Online Update' returned any updated firmware version info.
Recently logging into the gui for my EX3700 WiFi Range Extender showed the "New update is available". Now of course that thing seems to be behind by 9 versions of firmware releases however.
Def will wait for awhile to go ahead with the V2.3.5.30 update.
Been no issues with v2.5.1.8. Solid and stable.
v2.5.1.8 is a minor update and thus may not appear in a auto FW check or Orbi app. Others have seen it appear in the Orbi app.
I manually downloaded it and manually installed it. RBS first, then RBR lastly. Zero issues. Solved a device naming problem in v38 and v40.
Good luck.
